At 93% thermal efficiency for all model sizes, Modine’s Effinity93 condensing unit heater features the highest efficiency available in North America for commercial and industrial gas-fired unit heaters. This industry leading efficiency is a result of the coupling of our ConservicoreTM secondary heat exchanger technology with our robust tubular primary heat exchanger design. The ConservicoreTM technology features a secondary recuperative heat exchanger fabricated from AL29-4C® stainless steel. This material is superior to other lower grades of stainless steel and aluminum, resulting in outstanding ability to withstand the corrosive environment of condensing gas fired equipment.

Available in eight model sizes with input ranges from 85,000 to 310,000 Btu/Hr, Modine offers application flexibility unmatched in the industry. The separated combustion units draw combustion air from outside to ensure that the unit will always have plenty of fresh, clean air for combustion while increasing the overall heating efficiency. Venting material to be used is PVC, an extremely cost effective vent system.

This catalog describes the design benefits, construction features, performance data, unit selection procedure, and the optional and accessory devices available for the Modine Effinity93 Condensing Unit Heater, model PTC.

WARNING1. Do not locate ANY gas-fired unit in areas where chlorinated,

halogenated, or acidic vapors are present in the atmosphere.

2. Do not install in potentially explosive or flammable atmosphere laden with dust, sawdust, or similar airborne materials.

CAUTIONHeaters are designed for use in heating applications with ambient temperatures between 40°F and 80°F. Heaters should not be used in applications where the heated space temperature is below 40°F. The combination of low space and combustion air temperatures may result in condensate freezing in the secondary heat exchanger and/or condensate drain.

DESIGN FEATURES

Figure 4.1 - Factory Mounted Standard Features

➆ Flame Roll Out Switch (size 110 and smaller only) (hidden)Flame roll out switches are mounted near the burners and will shut off the gas supply in the event of an unsafe flame roll out condition.

➇ Direct Spark IgniterProvides spark for direct ignition of the burners.

➈ High Limit Switches One limit control is mounted in the air stream and will shut

off the gas supply in the event of overheating. The other limit control is mounted on the power exhauster housing and will shut off the gas supply in the event of overheating flue gas temperatures.

➉ Condensate Drain Overflow Switch Shuts down gas controls if condensate is not properly

draining from the unit.

Gas Pipe Connection Easy access to factory installed gas pipe connection stubbed

to outside of unit casing.

Condensate Drain Connection Easy access to factory installed condensate drain pipe

connection stubbed to outside of unit casing.

Combustion Air Inlet Pipe ConnectionSimple connection for combustion air inlet piping.

Vent Pipe Connection Simple Fernco® rubber boot connection for PVC vent system.

Fan Guard Propeller units may be equiped with an optional finger proof fan

guard (standard on size 110 and smaller) for added protection. If ordered, the finger proof fan guard is installed at the factory in place of the standard fan guard.

Contractor Convenience Package External junction box features simple connection of supply

power wiring internally, thermostat wiring to terminals externally, an On/Off switch, a single 115V outlet for connection of an external condensate pump, and status indicator lights to display the operational state of the unit.

Horizontal Air Deflector Blades (hidden)Factory mounted on the discharge of the unit, the blades can be adjusted to provide horizontal (up and down) delivery control of the heated air. Vertical deflector blades are available as a field installed accessory.

➀ Power Exhauster All units are supplied with a round vent pipe and combustion

air inlet pipe connections.

➁ Pressure Switch An automatic reset vent pressure switch is supplied on all

units and is designed to prevent operation of the main burner in the event there is restricted venting of flue products. This restriction may occur due to an improper vent diameter, long vent runs, un-approved vent terminal, high winds, high negative pressure within space, etc. After the cause of the restriction has been corrected, the pressure switch will reset automatically.

➂ Control Step Down Transformer The control step down transformer is located in the electrical

junction box. The transformer is used to step down from 115V to 24V for the gas controls, fan delay relay, field supplied motor starter, etc. An additional field installed transformer is required if the supply voltage is 208V, 230V, 460V, or 575V. To determine the control transformer supplied as well as any required accessory transformers, refer to Table 5.2.

➃ Integrated Direct Spark Control Board The integrated direct spark ignition control combines all

furnace control functions. The integrated board provides digital control of the air mover, inducer, ignition, gas valve and flame sense as well as monitoring the safety circuit at all times. The board includes LED diagnostics for trouble shooting and a fused power supply. Ignition control is 100% shut-off with continuous retry.

➄ Flame Sensor Remote flame sensor verifies ignition of all burners,

monitors the flame signal and communicates with the integrated circuit board.

➅ Single Stage Gas ValveThe main gas valve is factory installed on the unit heater gas train. The main gas valve provides regulator, main gas, and manual shutoff functions. The valve is redundant and provides 100% shut off. Natural gas is Control Code 11, propane gas is Control Code 21.

➀ Ratings shown are for elevations up to 2,000 ft. For elevations above 2,000 feet, ratings should be reduced at the rate of 4% for each 1,000 feet above sea level. (In Canada see rating plate.) Reduction of ratings requires use of a high altitude kit.

➁ Data taken at 65°F ambient and unit fired at full-rated input. Mounting height as measured from bottom of unit, and without deflector hoods.

➂ All motors used are produced, rated and tested by reputable manufacturers in accordance with NEMA standards and carry the standard warranty of both the motor manufacturer and Modine. All motors are totally enclosed and all single phase motors have built-in thermal overload protection.

engineer 2. Heat exchanger = 409 Stainless Steel3. Gas Type = Natural4. Gas Controls = Single Stage5. Supply Voltage: 460V/60Hz/3Ph6. Altitude: 1,000 feet

With the information listed above, the basic model, using the information in this catalog and the Model Nomenclature shown on page 11, can be selected as shown:

1. Determine the Model and Input Rating (MBH): Using the Heating output capacity, the Furnace Input Rating

is determined from Table 6.1. The closest model to 166,000 Btu/Hr output has an Btu/Hr Input rating of 180,000 Btu/Hr so the Furnace Input Rating = 180. The corresponding model for a 180 size, propeller, separated combustion unit heater is PTC. The model and size are a PTC180.

2. Determination of Heat Exchanger Material: From item #2 in the example, the Heat Exchanger required is

409 Stainless Steel. Thus, the Heat Exchanger Material = S from the Model Nomenclature on page 11.

3. Determine the Ignition Type: The Ignition Type = S from the Model Nomenclature on page11

4. Determine Power Code Required: Referring to Table 5.2, it can be seen that the supply

voltage from the example conditions is not available (460V). A transformer kit selected later in this example must be used. In this instance, from Table 5.2 select the 115V/60Hz/1Ph power code (PC) = 01 unit.

5. Determine the control type: From items #4 and #5 in the example conditions, the gas type

is Natural Gas and controls are Single Stage. From note ➅ on page 4, we are directed to use Control Code (CC) 11.

At this point we have a full model number of: PTC180SS01116. Determination of transformer: To operate a 115V/60Hz/1Ph unit on 460V/60Hz/3Ph supply

power a unit step down transformer must be selected. By referring to Table 5.2 we see that a 460V to 115V step down transformer is required. As noted in the footnote for Table 5.2, the size can be determined to be 1.0VA from Table 5.3.

7. Altitude: Since deration of gas fired unit heaters is only required for

units to be installed at 2,000 ft or greater, no high altitude kit is required.
